In a spiritual sequel to last week’s dungeon meetup, Josh and Emily continue to discuss the nuances of how we feel about things that we don’t have, whether they’re in the past, the future, or alternate realities. If this sounds awful to you, keep in mind that they do so while listening to some super classic tracks from some super new patrons (thanks for using those +1 tickets ya’ll). Why do we feel sad when we’re happy? What happens when we die? Would Jay Gatz and Mickey Mouse be friends? Find out here at the VGM Jukebox Episode 20, yo!

This week's dungeon meetup descends into a very confusing discussion on the nature of nostalgia. Will you get as confused as Emily does? Try your best to follow along and see! Josh introduces another friend to us and later imagineers the gameplay for Emily’s most anticipated game of the year, Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf. Stick around to learn the secret connection between Mickey Mouse, the Great Gatsby, and God, and hear a very special announcement courtesy of the conscientious Cookie.

This week Josh and Emily have a lot of things to discuss with the patrons. Would it be desirable for the podcast to move into a true weekly format? Might the loyal contributors bring more listeners into the fold? And how does a special FAQ-style Bonus Room episode of patron-submitted questions sound? Ponder these possibilities over the varied selections of chill and funky jams found inside the Discussion Zone, then voice your opinions in the comments section!

This week Josh and Emily unexpectedly create the feel-good dungeon setlist of the century. Kick back with them and imagine you're drifting off on a peaceful ranch, driving down the 101 on a sunny day, or chasing butterflies through a grassy field. HAJU chimes in and sounds super relaxed too, but perhaps due to a beverage mixup. Don't worry though. He just needs a few minutes to regain his balance and give things a second try.

ATTENTION PARENTS: You might want to preview this particular episode before your kindergartners listen along. Although Josh and Emily spend most of their time promoting substance-free childhoods and conscientious garbage disposal, this meetup is ostensibly rated PG. Other topics include trustworthiness, password storage preferences, Emily's hypothetical romantic relationships with various video game consoles and podcasts, and... you guessed it... BURGERTIME TIME! Tune in for all this and more, and witness Josh instigate a laughing fit the likes of which we haven't heard since our unofficial LJN focus.

Watch your step -- we have some visitors in the dungeon, and they're fragile! This week Josh and Emily talk Turtles, triumphs, intrigue, and repetitive stress injuries. Will Emily become the WCW champion? Will the Haunted Jukebox earn a name? Will Tee the Dark Knight ever stop leaving the window open? And when will we hear the next installment of BurgerTime Time? Tune in for some answers!

You've shared the health, now wear the stealth! Josh and Emily try to sneak around the bar and cue up some cool jams without putting anyone into alert mode. This week's suggestions inspire conversation on everything from the nature of nostalgia to Tiger handhelds, and multiple patrons (and hosts) connect over the phenomenon of driving too fast while listening to VGM. There's also a new addition to the bar! Be sure to loiter around until closing so you get a good look at what Emily installed in the lobby on the way out.

Josh and Emily break the 60-minute mark at this week's dungeon meetup for two reasons. For one, they get really carried away chatting about zombies. But for two, they serve up a bunch of special segments -- including a brand new one that Josh coins on the air. Get comfy on the flagstone for a while and enjoy the surprises!

At another unusually long jukebox gathering, Josh and Emily contemplate the relationship between artists and audiences, explore some particularly tender testimonials, and try to remember the ridiculous video game rumors they used to hear about in elementary school. At one point Emily can't help it and overflows with feels for the patrons who've been sharing their feels. Go ahead. Get mushy too.

Josh and Emily head down to the dungeon once again and spend an unusually long time unlocking a whole bunch of stuff: traumatic video game memories, commentary from Emily's mom -- even a concept for the next smash hit sitcom! Also unveiled is The VGM Jukebox official Twitter feed, @VGMJB. The hosts don't know exactly what they're going to do with it yet, but cram it into your inventory anyway. You never know when these things might come in handy!
